Honorable Heidi J Harmon

An advocate and former Mayor for positive solutions to local and global challenges in San Luis Obispo and beyond for the past 30 years, I bring a social, climate, and gender justice lens to my leadership and communications.

As a climate champion, I have seen how climate crisis brings into sharp relief how interconnected we all are —how these issues affect us all. I’m excited about the Green New Deal, which recognizes the intersectional issues we need to address.

Heidi Harmon, Public Affairs Director of Let’s Green CA!, is a dynamic keynote speaker and featured guest on programs including Full Frontal with Samantha Bee, NPR, and TEDx.

She’s held many titles in her life, among them maid, mayor and mom. Heidi served three terms as mayor of the City of San Luis Obispo, where she led the city to adopt what was then the most ambitious carbon neutrality goal in the United States. A mother of two, Heidi is a social, environmental and gender justice leader committed to creating an equitable and sustainable world. Heidi’s authenticity and palpable passion for her work are her superpowers.
